It does change the subtext of the whole article. Thank you for highlighting it.

It does read more like an article on "list of legal accessories you can add to a physical product to propup the chances in a IP lawsuit"... While smart, can't help but think this goes against the spirit of IP law.

I think it was just distinguishing the different sorts of IP. There's no multiplier effect; they're distinct types/instances of infringement.

As these legal accessories are a response to people who have no respect for the spirit of IP law, I, personally, am not particularly concerned by this. It has been attempts to get round the spirit of the law that has brought these accessories into existence.
